Your “Feminist Buzzkills” joined forces with the “Boom! Lawyered” pod for an epic live show! After getting word that SCOTUS was hearing a case that could result in eliminating any healthcare provider from Medicaid payments if they provide abortion, we geared up for battle for one super-sized show with the amazing “Boom! Lawyered” hosts Imani Gandy (Rewire Editor-at-Large) and Jess Pieklo (Rewire Senior Vice President, Executive Editor.) We break down what this case means, and fill you in on all the outrageous tricks clown lawmakers across the country are playing trying to destroy access to reproductive care. It was a packed show full of rage and shenanigans and the DC crowd LOVED IT!  This episode unpacks the arguments in Medina v Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a case that could upend Medicaid beneficiaries ability to enforce their rights under the public benefit program all because conservatives hate abortion. We get into the history of efforts to kick Planned Parenthood out of the Medicaid program, the bad faith arguments made by conservatives to the Court as they try to do so again, and how a bad decision in the case could impact way more than access to abortion. Recorded LIVE at the Black Cat in DC, we gotta give a huge shout out and special thanks to the Black Cat crew for making the space for our loud asses AND for everyone who showed up! Tune in for the legal brilliance, the laughs, the knowledge, and some actions you can take to be the change you wanna see in this world.  Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all.

In this episode, host Jay Young engages with Sasha, author of 'Victims of Virtue', to explore the complexities of victim mentality, personal responsibility, and the societal narratives surrounding masculinity and gender ideology. They discuss Sasha's personal journey through trauma, the impact of school policies on self-defense, and the consequences of medical interventions for minors. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accountability and the dangers of a victimhood mentality in today's society. In this conversation, Sasha and Jey Young discuss critical issues surrounding parental rights, gender affirming care, abortion, adoption, and the societal implications of these topics. They explore the complexities of parental love, the impact of censorship, and the challenges of mental health in today's society. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and accountability in navigating these contentious issues. Takeaways The conversation addresses sensitive topics that may be uncomfortable for some listeners. Sasha's book critiques the pervasive victim mentality in modern culture. Personal responsibility is crucial for overcoming adversity and trauma. Victimhood can be a choice that limits personal power and control. School policies often discourage self-defense, reinforcing victimhood. Toxic masculinity is often misunderstood and conflated with normal male behavior. Children lack the cognitive ability to understand long-term consequences of their choices. Medical interventions for minors raise ethical concerns regarding informed consent. The narrative of interchangeable genders contributes to societal misunderstandings. Healthy masculinity should be distinguished from harmful behaviors. Parents have limited control over children's access to gender affirming care. The conversation around abortion often overlooks the option of adoption. Many parents regret their decisions regarding abortion years later. The depth of parental love is often underestimated until one becomes a parent. Censorship plays a significant role in shaping societal narratives. Victim mentality can hinder personal accountability and growth. Mental health issues are often misdiagnosed due to self-diagnosis trends. The impact of COVID-19 on children's social skills is yet to be fully understood. There is a significant gap between children in foster care and families wanting to adopt. Societal pressures can lead to poor decision-making regarding family and parenting.

Full episode transcript HERE.  The first awful week ends with March for Madness – IT'S HEAVY ON THE MADNESS! Your Feminist Buzzkils are out here using facts and belly laughs to break down the early returns of how the anti-abobo gorgons will fuck with our rights. Let's snap you out of your facism fatigue, stat! Every one of you is an abobo warrior, and we salute you (in a very normal human way). Trump's first week ended with the anti-abortion mayhem known as the March for Life, AKA Unbornaroo. For 52 years they have taken over the Capital for their annual patriarchal parade of fetus worship and ovarian oppression. BUT, as always, we've got the play by play! We're bringing y'all: their lies and their plans on where they will prioritize creating policy to further destroy access to abortion care. AND, joining us is Constitutional law scholar Dr. Michele Goodwin to explain the devastating blows we can expect from their shenanigans. From plans to reinstate the Global Gag rule to how Christian legal firms have spent DECADES turning the courts into dogma distribution centers, one judge at a time.  All this, PLUS, the latest on the anti-abortion “terrorists” Trump pardoned this week and all of the abobo-related news you need to know. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all.

Your Feminist Buzzkills are BACK, BABY!! And we've got marching orders for the year ahead. Look, no one needs a crystal ball to know that 2025 is going to SUCK ASS. With the inauguration of the Queef-in-Chief, the confirmation of the cabinet of blunders, and the March For Life, this inauspicious start to the year bears grim tidings. As always, your Buzzkills GOTCHU on what to keep your ears and eyes peeled not just for the next 300+ days, but also the abobo tea from this week! From updates on the trash act for “abortion survivors” to which state government has proved to hate abortion the MOST. Plus, Moji unpacks just how intense the approval for medication abortion was, which should shut down the anti-abortion ass clowns–but it won't. So we live to podcast another day.   GUEST ROLL CALL! Joining us to lay out how sham, FAKE clinics will quickly become the epicenters of evil is researcher, comms, and data guru at the Women's Law Project Tara Murtha. PLUS, what do REM's “Fables of the Reconstruction” and abortion have in common? Rock legend Jason Narducy hops in the mix and chats with us about his tour with Michael Shannon and how Abortion AF is a part of it all! Yes, a bunch of white guys are actually doing something cool to support abortion access! It's a whopper of a way to start a new year, but we'll be here with a dose of hope and a box of abortion pills through it all. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all.

A big freeze in Franco-Algerian relations as domestic politics drive international diplomacy. France is full of dinosaur bones, but short on paleongolotists to dig them up. And France's law decriminalising abortion turns 50. The often fraught relations between France and its former colony Algeria have hit an all-time low after a series of disagreements over Western Sahara, the detention of a French-Algerian writer and a French-Algerian blogger accused of inciting violence. Both countries have spoken of "humiliation" and "dishonour". Arab world specialist  Adlene Mohammedi talks about bilateral relations being polluted by internal affairs – notably Algiers' lack of democratic legitimacy and the increasing influence of the far right in France. And while the sorely needed level-headed diplomacy  is more needed than ever, it's been run down in both countries.   (Listen @2'05'')France's remarkable geological diversity means the country is prime dinosaur territory – home to fossils from all three periods of the dinosaur age.  The first dinosaurs were discovered in France in the 19th century, but as paleontologist Eric Buffetaut explains, many of the major finds have been in the last 40 years, thanks to amateur paleontologists around the country. (Listen @21'25'')France enacted a law decriminalising abortion on 17 January 1975. Ollia Horton talks about the legacy of that right and how despite being  enshrined in the constitution, access 50 years later is still not guaranteed. (Listen @14'40")Episode mixed by Cecile Pompeani. Spotlight on France is a podcast from Radio France International.

Of the states that just passed measures protecting abortion, a majority of them also delivered their Electoral College votes to Donald Trump. New York Times Magazine staff writer Emily Bazelon joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why Democrats' call to restore reproductive rights didn't bring voters to their side, how Trump has been inconsistent in his messaging about the issue, and what this signals for efforts to keep abortion legal in America.

Abortion was on the ballot in 10 states, and seven of them passed constitutional amendments defending abortion rights. Also, this ginormous number has a whopping 41,024,320 digits, which isn't very helpful for mathematicians but is certainly exciting for math nerds.Seven States Passed Ballot Measures To Protect Abortion RightsThis week, science was on the ballot in many states. Voters across the country weighed in on issues like drug legalization, money to fund climate programs, and, of course, abortion rights. Ten states voted on the issue, and in seven of them, voters chose to protect or expand abortion rights. Those states are Maryland, Montana, Nevada, New York, Colorado, Arizona, and Missouri. On the flip side, voters in Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota rejected measures that would protect abortion rights.Ira Flatow talks with Tim Revell, executive editor at New Scientist, about the outcome of some sciencey ballot measures and what we can expect going into another Trump presidency. They also discuss the launch of the world's first wooden satellite, what scientists learned when they put vampire bats on a treadmill, and more.Math Enthusiast Finds The Largest Known Prime NumberLet's go back to grade school—do you remember learning about prime numbers? They're numbers that can only be divided by themselves and one.So 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and so on are prime numbers. The number 12, for example, wouldn't be prime because you can divide it by other numbers, like 2 and 3. And as you count up and up, prime numbers become more sparse.Math lovers are always competing to find the largest prime number, and just recently, an engineer discovered the largest one—so far. And you won't believe how ginormous it is: It has more than 41 million digits.Ira talks with Jack Murtagh, math writer and columnist for Scientific American, about why prime numbers are so cool, and the quest to find the largest one.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Kamala Harris conceded, delivering a speech at Howard University and calling Trump to acknowledge his victory.

In state elections, Democrats broke North Carolina's GOP supermajority and gained seats on Michigan's Supreme Court. Abortion rights measures passed in seven states, while California repealed Prop. 8, securing same-sex marriage rights in its constitution. The DOJ is reportedly preparing to wind down criminal cases against Trump under policies shielding sitting presidents.

With days left in the race, some say the onus is on Vice President Kamala Harris to distinguish herself from Joe Biden's previous not-Donald Trump strategy. At a CNN town hall on Wednesday, she walked back former progressive policies and hammered in working across the aisle. Is her strategy of playing the middle enough to win?Polls suggest that nearly half of voters in the U.S. intend to cast their ballots early. Tens of millions have already done so,  but in this tight a race, the fate of the election may rest on the undecided. How must Trump and Harris change their strategies to sway voters who haven't picked yet?The overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 largely delegated abortion rights to the states. In a place as purple as Nevada, is codifying abortion at the federal level enough to influence voters to go blue? Or will abortion rights voters be content with state-level rights? As part of our 50 states series, the Left, Right, and Center panel examines what a post-Dobbs election means for single-issue voters in Nevada.

If Vice-President Kamala Harris wins in November, it will likely be on the strength of the pro-choice vote, which has been turning out strongly in recent elections. Her statements and choices on the campaign trail couldn't stand in starker relief against those of Donald Trump and his running mate, J. D. Vance, who recently called for defunding Planned Parenthood. Meanwhile, Harris “is the first sitting Vice-President or President to come to a Planned Parenthood health center, to come to an abortion clinic, and really understand the conversations that have been happening on the ground,” Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood's president and C.E.O., told David Remnick. The organization is spending upward of $40 million in this election to try to secure abortion rights in Congress and in the White House. A second Trump term, she speculates, could bring a ban on mifepristone and a “pregnancy czar” overseeing women in a federal Department of Life. “Is that scary enough for you?” Johnson asks.
